Turkish 50th Anniversary - Low Level

A superb event organised by the Turkish Air Force to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Phantom in Turkish Service. The event involved two airframes with multiple passes. My view was a little different to others as my knees wouldn't allow me to get to the top of the cliff so my shots are from further back.

Superb shots.
The last one with the nose chopped off however would easily win the 'show us your worst 2024 competition'.
Hope the people on that point have recovered their hearing by now.

Even allowing for telephoto compression that F-4 in that last shot is 'kin close!
I like this image as it shows perfectly the photo-op's available to the more agile attendees! :O

All the photos I’ve seen, from all the photographers who attended (I wasn’t one of them) are amazing, but that last shot is incredible and illustrates why so many people have said “you had to be there to understand how good it was “. Simply brilliant!
